Nice quaffer with Italian food. Good fruit, but a bit faceless.

Tart concentrated red fruit on the nose. Intense red fruit, beyond jammy and more like prune/dried cranberry. Touch of sweetness, good acidity, any more and it would be too acidic. The thick fruitiness almost gives a cough syrup vibe but isn't unpleasant. Maybe a little one dimensional but I quite liked it very drinkable and it was very unique.

Blackberry fruit followed quickly by woody, cough syrup finish. I thought my first bottle was corked, so I opened the second bottle. It was the same :(
